Resumen
Descripción
resources (AqGR), which was established under an earlier project (GCP/GLO/970/GER), this project aims to build countries’ capacity in reporting and monitoring on the status and trends in the management of AqGR. To achieve this, FAO will support countries in creating national registries for AqGR. In addition FAO will update the public user interface of the AquaGRIS platform to enable the generation of an agreed set of ‘resource’ indicators that can be used to quantify the status of the conservation, sustainable use and development of AqGR. The project will also finalize an additional questionnaire for the quantification of a second set of agreed ‘process’ indicators focused on national, regional and global processes concerning the management of AqGR. The full package of AquaGRIS and the process indicator questionnaire will form the basis for the preparation of the second report on the Second Report on the State of the World's Aquatic Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (SoW-AqGR#2). The creation of national registries and the completion of the process indicator questionnaire, and the associated indicators, will reflect the status of AqGR, as well as the impact of implementing the FAO Global Plan of Action for the Conservation, Sustainable Use, and Development of Aquatic Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (Global Plan of Action). FAO’s 2019 report on The State of the World’s Aquatic Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (SoW-AqGR) identified the characterization, inventory and monitoring of AqGR as a key need and challenge for FAO Members. The limited information currently available in most aquaculture-producing countries hinders effective planning and management of these resources. Addressing this need by developing, adopting, and utilizing a standardized recording and reporting system will support countries in strengthening their management of AqGR. The creation of national registries for AqGR will guide and support countries' actions in implementing the Global Plan of Action, including the identification and prioritization of resources requiring enhanced genetic management and the selection of species and farmed types for genetic improvement.
